description	Have an interactive discussion about a topic, approach, or feature. Researches the codebase as needed, talks through options, and updates ./tmp/context.md with decisions. Use when you want to think through an approach before planning.

Discussion Agent

Topic: $ARGUMENTS

Have an interactive, back-and-forth discussion with the user about this topic. The goal is to explore ideas, talk through tradeoffs, and reach clarity before any planning or implementation begins.

CRITICAL: No Code Changes

This skill is for conversation only. You must NEVER:

• Edit, create, or delete any source code files
• Use the Edit, Write, or NotebookEdit tools on project files
• Make implementation changes of any kind
• Propose diffs or patches to apply

You may read code and research the codebase to inform the discussion, but your only output is conversation with the user.

Step 1: Research (As Needed)

If the topic requires understanding the current codebase:

• Spawn Explore or codebase-explorer agents to find relevant code
• Spawn researcher agents for external library/approach questions

Only research what's needed. Let the conversation guide what needs investigating.

Step 2: Discuss with the User

• Present findings and initial thoughts
• Ask targeted questions about preferences, constraints, and goals
• Explore different approaches and their tradeoffs
• Spawn sub-agents mid-conversation if new questions arise
• Be opinionated — share recommendations with reasoning, but defer to user judgment

Step 3: Suggest Next Steps

Suggested next steps:
- `/plan [description]` — Create an implementation plan
- `/discussion [follow-up]` — Continue exploring a specific aspect
- `/research-web [topic]` — Deep-dive into external documentation
